Team Canada's Anthony Ponzo is featured in today's York Region newspaper.

Ponzo is on the roster for the Canadian
team that competes at the sixth International Floorball Federation men’s
under-19 championships May 3 to 7 in Weissenfels, Germany. “I was
extremely excited,” he said, recalling the news he was selected for the
national squad. “It’s a privilege to represent your country and have
Canada on your jersey even if it’s in a sport not many people know
about.”

The International Floorball Federation announced today that all of the Under-19 World Championship games will be broadcast live on Web-TV. The IFF also announced that the top 3 teams from the B-Division will qualifiy directly to the 2013 World Floorball Championships.

All matches from the 6th Men´s U19 World Floorball Championships will be broadcasted live on Web-TV.

In addition
to that, all matches of the German MU19 national team can be tracked
delayed on “Leipzig-Fernsehen”, “Dresden-Fernsehen”,
“Chemnitz-Fernsehen” and “8Sport”. Besides that, exclusive WFC-Matches
of the top nations will be televised by the regional sport channel
“8Sport”. There has never been so much Floorball presence in German
television before!

Top 11 teams from MU19 2011 qualified to MU19 WFC 2013

As floorball is spreading and teams from more
continents participate in the U19 WFC there is a need to create more
space for qualifying teams if a new continent enters the U19 competition

The IFF Rules and Competition Committee (RACC)
therefore proposed to the IFF Exco to increase the number of open spots
from 4 to 5, meaning that top 11 (the complete A-division and top 3 of
the B-division) shall be directly qualified to the next U19 WFC.

The U-19 Team Canada's 20 man roster is released today as they prepare for the 2011 WFC in Germany. It has been a long and difficult process in naming this team. We would like to thank all of the players across the country that wanted to play floorball for Team Canada.

Team Canada's Under-19 National Team is proud to announce that Anthony Herrington, already the team's Head Coach, has been named co-General Manager. He joins Juha Mikkola in the General Manager role.

"Anthony is a key driver behind the Under-19 National Team program, and it is natural for him to assume the role of co-General Manager in addition to Head Coach" says team co-GM Juha Mikkola. "Anthony has been contributing on the management side since Day 1 and I look forward to working with Anthony as we go for Gold in Germany."
